Bishop says he will support Trump if he’s presidential nominee

“Somebody said ‘Are you a free trader?’ The answer is yes”.

“We will stand up to trade cheating – cheating. We should kill this unfettered free-trade agreement, which would cost us almost half a million jobs”, Sanders said at the time.

Who Donald Trump will select as his running mate has been the source of endless speculation.

“This is not a flawless candidate”, Bishop says of Trump.

NAFTA may not be, in Mr. Trump’s words, the “worst trade deal in the history of this country”, but I agree that the trade deal with Mexico and Canada should include stronger protections for the American worker, along with updated intellectual property, environmental and labor provisions.

During the OH speech Tuesday, Trump also denounced the Trans-Pacific Partnership and compared it to rape. “And I think if he actually stuck to those policies and gets elected president, it’s close to a guarantee of a global depression, widespread global depression”.

“I’m not against trade”.

The public squabbling between the presumptive Republican nominee and the business group was unusual, one of a series of reminders that Trump still struggles to unite his party behind his campaign. The presumptive GOP nominee for president said his trade skepticism wouldn’t start a trade war, since in his view, there already is one.

Many Democrats have been willing to support trade agreements with what they consider to be adequate labor and environmental standards and some Republicans have always been skeptical, harking back to a protectionist strain that predominated in the GOP prior to the second world war. “Nobody knows what she’s talking about”, he continued, “and you tell me, “she’s presidential”?”

But on Tuesday it disputed Trump’s vocal opposition to trade deals, calling his proposals “dangerous” ideas that would push the United States into another recession. “We will stand up to trade cheating anywhere and everywhere it threatens the American job”.

The Clinton campaign moved vigorously to counter Trump’s speech, holding a conference call with reporters featuring Sen.

A few days ago, Trump had said those primary candidates who do not endorse him should not be invited to address the Republican convention in Cleveland next month.

The Chamber has in the past hit Clinton and Sanders for failing to offer broad enough support for free trade. During his most recent rally in St. Clairsville, Ohio, Trump called for bringing back the use of waterboarding and torture to keep the country safe, as reported by The Hill on June 29. But it has also contributed to significantly cheaper consumer goods for American consumers and opened up new markets to U.S. exporters.

Fox News Senior National Correspondent John Roberts has the latest in Trump’s race for the White House. If so, the thinking goes, simply un-rig it. In fact, trade barriers of the sort Mr. Trump favors rig economies in favor of special interests who benefit from coddling protections at the expense of everyone else: Prices rise, and business opportunities fall. “Sometimes he’ll walk something back one day and be back with the original policy the next”, he said.
